GREEN ENERGY

Our distillery proudly hosts photovoltaic panels on the roof to deliver a green energy option to our distillation operations.
Thanks to the installation of a web connected Fronius Solar System, we receive live information on our energy
production and consumption at all times including converted CO2 savings
RECIRCULATION COMPOSTING

We operate our own worm farms on site delivering a sustainable vermicompost bi-product from the botanical waste of our gin production.
Thousands of earthworms convert natural, biodegradable ingredients into nutrient-rich compost. This is then either returned to our gardens or sold as potager compost in our tasting room.
